Easy Asparagus Omelet

This week I♥CC is looking for a Curtis Stone dish featuring or including local and/or seasonal ingredients that are grown/produced in our area. At least it is asparagus season in Northern Germany. The

is local, seasonal and delicious. Nammi from Chillies and Lime chose this recipe for April Potluck 19.12.2023 ** and Margaret from Tea and Scones welcomed Curtis Stone with it. It’s a must to prepare it again.

Although Germans are fond of white asparagus I prefer green, because it’s more tasteful than those modern white asparagus varieties.

Instructions

  1. Cut the asparagus tips into 7.5 cm lengths then cut the remaining asparagus stalks on a slight diagonal into 1/2 cm-thick slices. In a small bowl, toss the asparagus tips with the oil to coat. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper to blend well.
  2. In a 22 cm-diameter nonstick ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling the pan to coat it with the butter. Add the asparagus slices and sauté 1 minute. Add the eggs and gently stir with a silicone spatula to lift the cooked egg off the bottom of the skillet and stir it into the uncooked portion (be careful not to over stir the omelet). As the omelet begins to set, have one last gentle stir then lay the cheese slices and asparagus tips over the omelet.
  3. Place the pan under the grill and cook for about 1 minute, or until the omelet is set on top and the cheese melts. Using a silicone spatula, loosen the omelet from the pan and slide it onto a platter. Cut the omelet into wedges and serve.
  4. To make it easier to shave the cheese, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing it.

    An omelette is always a lovely way to showcase new spring asparagus. White is quite common here but I too prefer the green for its flavour (and appearance).

    letzte Woche auch ausprobiert, zwar nicht genau nach dem Rezept, aber es war ein superleckeres Omlett mit grünem Spargel aus eigener Ernte .
    Sogar dem Seemann schmeckte es!
    Danke für den Tipp
